Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

A rare and precious gem of a guitar here, folks!  This model was ordered custom with some delightful appointments you don't always see out there in the wild world of boutique guitars.  The inlay/purfling/rosette combo is practically a dictionary entry for "tasteful bling."  The combination of Cedar and EIR is equally definitive when it comes to that modern, overtone-y, delicate fingerstyle voicing that favors both open and standard tunings.  The longer scale length certainly supports flatpicking and strumming, too--gives the oft-used "top end shimmer" phrase a whole new meaning!  Superlative in every way!

 

SP Luthier Notes: Fret Dress, Setup

From Santa Cruz Guitars

Some SCGC models are designed for specific genres like bluegrass, fingerstyle or rhythm. The F Model’s intent is versatility. Recording, performing and composing with picks or nails on the same instrument is a necessity for many of us. When your repertoire also demands full dynamics from subtle to bold, you needn’t settle nor compromise on your presentation if you have the proper tool. Our ability to control the EQ of the F is the secret to avoiding boominess, while maintaining impressive acoustic volume and giving an articulate voice to fingerstyle playing and open tunings. The F Model is a favorite of performing songwriters. Its classic shape and design make it a popular choice for 12 string, cutaway, custom finish and inlay options.
